Mate Factor Organic Yerba Mate, Original Fresh Green, 12 OunceUSDA Organic

It’s yummy ‘would buy again!

I gave up Coffee and drink this Green tea now. This tea is delicious and gives me energy in the AM. I don't miss the coffee.

Delicious tea.

This is such high quality green mate, (you can find out why on their website), it converted me from chimarrao which I thought could never happen. One thing to note is that mate is not like black or green tea in that it doesn't get bitter or stewed the longer it's in the water. The opposite in fact. Bitterness is more a function of the initial water temperature, I like 160F but you could go even lower. If you're interested in a deeper or richer flavor without going to a gourd, you can try a few things besides using more mate. Easiest is to add a small amount of cold water to the leaves first to open them up. You can also grind the leaves a little finer (gently, by hand is better for avoiding powder than by machine) to get both deeper flavor and more body. Finally, most effective is put the leaves in cold water in a glass jar ahead of the brew time, put this in the fridge if it's the night before, then heat this gently in a waterbath to temperature in the morning. This, along with prior grinding, gives a cup with a more intense and longer taste, and at 160F, 1-2T per 6 ounces of water, a great lingering sweetness to the finish.

It’s my first time drinking Matte, great taste no like the regular green tea which makes me feel nauseous.

Good mate and generous size bag should last a while.

This might just be my new go to Yerba Mate! I was using the one in the Yellow bag forever... another organic brand... Then some one turned me onto this product! Thank You! I believe it might even be a little less expensive than the Guayaki brand that I was buying... Although I have tried most brands on the market... I drink this every morning (2 tsp in a tea strainer, pour hot water over, wait 7 minutes and pull the strainer out and enjoy) I often add honey to my cup of Yerba mate. Always buy organic herbs and spices to avoid the fumigation and irradiation that is being used on ALL conventional spices, herbs and teas imported!
